The part where a well-earned wingnut fills his owner with warmth for a job well done. It is known.

I give up. I won't bother to understand what you or Menuhin try to argue...
I gave information (somewhat vague, I'll give you that) as to the maker of the wingnuts.
I was not talking about how they compare to Nobel prizes, nor whether they mean something to their owner.
And, depletedvespene, I have full awareness of the significance of the wingnuts, no need for you to tell me.

Yes it is often blazing hot indoors in the US during the winter. I can't stand it.

For those wondering, webwit has said on this forum that the wingnuts are made by Clack Factory, so I don't think there's any secret to hide there. I've always wanted one but not so much I'd pay $10,000 :O

I don't care either way, I'm not selling mine. It's a prize that I earned and I'm proud of it in a way.

Exactly. WTF ?!?

Wingnuts wouldn’t be worth much if they weren’t functional keycaps.
Which, thinking of it, applies to all "artisans"
